BBC Young Musician Winner Laura van der Heijden Discusses Her New Chandos Album

Cellist Laura van der Heijden won the BBC Young Musician competition at just 15 years old. She’s gone on to make a name for herself, graduating from Cambridge University, and now on to releasing her second album called Pohádka: Tales from Prague to Budapest, which ******explores the rich folk melodies of Janáček, Kodály and Dvořák. Here’s our chat about her aesthetic inspiration outside of the music world, her love for NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts, and why she chose to record this album, which comes out later this month. —  Classical Post® is created and produced by ⁠Gold Sound Media⁠® LLC, a New York-based marketing agency for the performing arts industry.
